“Here I am (Jesus speaking) I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him and he with me. To him who overcomes, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. “

Prayer

He is talking about standing at the door of our hearts and we have a choice weather we will let Him in. we always take that verse as unbelievers with Jesus standing and wanting them to let him into their hearts. It is… unbelievers have an opportunity to let Jesus into their hearts when he knocks and they respond.

Don’t read that too fast, Jesus is addressing seven churches and each one He has found fault with and is standing waiting for them to allow him to change them.

Church at Ephesus- the first church, he says that you have lost your first love. You work hard but you have lost focus and you need to return to me your first love.

Church at Smyrna- He offers encouragement. I see what you guys are going through. Be faithful, I see the affliction and you need to hang on.
